Fun fact: Oddball reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry's tour manager also manages Lil B. They're musically dissimilar artists, but their freewheeling and cosmic approaches to artistry match up in a way that the manager thing doesn't feel at all coincidental. The same can be said of Perry and UK dance vets The Orb, who teamed up with him on a new album called The Orbserver in the Star House out on August 28 through the End Records.

Perry, Dr. Alex Paterson, and Thomas Fehlmann recorded the album over the last couple of months in Berlin. It features a rework of "Police and Thieves", the well-known track Perry produced for Junior Murvin in 1976, and a new version of the Orb's classic "Fluffy Little Clouds" (now titled "Golden Clouds").

Listen to album track "Hold Me Upsetter", above, and watch a Pitchfork.tv feature on Perry in the studio with Andrew W.K., recording Perry's album Repentance.
